The Force Unleashed figures you'd like to see them do

This got brought up in another thread, and I figured it warranted more discussion (anything to break up the myriad of "would you buy this unlikely vehicle" thread that have overfilled this forum ).

First up is Kazdan Paratus, the mad little Jedi Master on Raxus Prime, he's the same race as Ratts Tyerell. After Order 66 went down, it drove him mad, he went to the junk planet, built himself a set of spider limbs, a lightsaber lance, a junk version of the Jedi Temple, and junk versions of the Jedi council with whom he wished to protect. A figure of him wouldn't be difficult, but I'd love to see them include a junk Yoda and another junk Jedi master as well.

Another from Raxus Prime would be a Rodian Heavy Defender or maybe a Rodian Ripper, although the Ripper's topless costume is a little odd and steampunk.

I'd like to see Hasbro do a Scrap Guardian but a little more scrap and less "random polygons" than the game version.

I'm not sure about a Purge Trooper, I really hated them in the game, they were probably the cheapest thing about the game all by themselves, and their design seemed a little far afield for Star Wars, but they might make good figures... maybe?

Hoth Starkiller, that was a pretty cool variant of our protagonist.

So, what else would you guys like to see? More Starkiller figures? I could be on board with that.

The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.

Off the top of my head, a Kleef figure would be cool. I remember seeing the Gungan bounty hunter and thinking he was awesome (though not knowing at the time who Lee van Cleef was, nor that yet another Cleef-based character would be introduced just a few months later).

And I second Kazdan Paratus. He was quite cool. So were some of the scrap creatures, and it would be fun to see which droid elements they incorporate.

Kazdan is the only character I can think of off the top of my head. The enemy troopers don't really appeal to me much. Maybe a Felucian Shaman. I don't even know who Kleef is. Where was he in the game?

I would love to see a Purge Trooper, if only to strap some M-80's up to them and light them up for all the hell they caused me in the game.

Nowhere in your incoherent ramblings did you come anywhere close to the answer. Thanks to you, everyone in this room is now stupider having heard you. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul. -Billy Madison-

What's not accurate about the Shadow Guard? Do you mean the non-cloak Shadow Guard, or is this a Wii/PS2 thing where that version looks different?

Lil Leia, I love it!

Interesting, I hadn't really thought about her saber design being wrong. But not only are the blades the wrong length, but the handles are too far forward. I'm not sure I'd buy another of her though, even with that odd torso. I don't think she's poorly articulated, she's got SA except for knees.

Sir,

I bow to your wisdom. You are, of course, absolute correct about the proper need for and usage of a Purge Trooper action figure. I humbly reverse my previous opinion and now demand their production so I can enact my own brand of physical justice upon them as well.

Yours,

I haven't pulled her out in a while (my collection resides in several plastic tubs), so she may be more articulated than I remember, but her torso bothers me to the point where if they fixed that and even reduced her articulation I'd consider it an improvement.
